"Hello. I'm astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Welcome to Space Adventure.
You are about to enter a universe of wonders. You will see sights that no one until our era had even dreamed of. You will share the struggles that the pioneers of astronomy and spaceflight endured. Come visit the Moon with me. See what pulsars and black holes are. And encounter the mysteries whose answers we still do not know. Perhaps you will be the one to solve them.
You will find a universe filled with possibilities: space colonies, trips to Mars, maybe even extraterrestrial beings. See places where you yourself may one day explore if you have the courage and wisdom.
I was privileged to visit the Moon. Would you like to follow in my footsteps and walk on Mars?
Take the first step and explore the universe with me."
—Buzz Aldrin, Space Adventure, 1992
